~9 Years Old, Loves To Cook!~

It's great that he wanted to learn at that age. There have been times when my kids have helped my husband with some baking and stuff. Lately, my son really loves baking cookies that my husband's grandfather used to make. His recipe.

I remember having a child's cookbook; but I don't remember how old I was. I have always liked to cook and bake; but I can no longer do either.

I am glad he is learning to cook. That is a good skill for him to have.

I forget what age, but I was around 12 when I learned to cook poached eggs on toast and fudge.

I probably didn't start cooking until I was about 12/13 but kids these days seem to be doing some serious cooking at much younger ages. One tv show that I love is Master Chef Jr and kids as young as 8 are cooking gourmet meals.

I was always more interested in being outside than cooking. I didn't cook much at all till we got married.

Good for Julian! Well, true cooking was probably twelve although I’d make brownies and cake when I was ten. But at twelve, my mom was bedridden and couldn’t leave her room. My dad worked, so me and my 14 year old sister took turns cooking every night. We had some incidents with my sister’s meals (she never poured the grease out of the hamburger meat when she’d make casseroles or even did Hamburger Helper). So after awhile, I took over all the cooking. But my sister is an excellent cook now. She’s definitely better than me. I think motherhood really inspired her.
